Wild Futures Monkey Sanctuary South Cornwall

Half a mile east of Looe, this wildlife centre is guaranteed to raise some 'aaahhhhs' over its woolly and capuchin monkeys, many of which were rescued from captivity. They're all contained in wire-mesh cages, so it's not quite an 'in-the-wild' experience, but still bound to please the kids – and the charity is involved in some important conservation work and breeding programs.
